I like the concept! Placing stuff for sale is a neat mechanic, I feel like you can do a lot with it if you expand the game like having products that block view of each other or those that synergize by being next to each other. Being able to just drag the items into position or reuse previous setups would speed things up a lot. The character models are really lovely, each one's got a lot of distinct charm! Something that's not too clear is what happens in the sale section, the first time I was waiting the characters to buy something, but it seems that it's more of a cosmetic feature at the moment. The events add some fun variety between different days, they're a really nice bit of spice!

This one was interesting to me because in some ways is similar to what I tried to do in my submission, but you went in a very different direction with yours (and just straight up made a more complete game than I did lol)

The most impressive part imo were the 3d npcs walking around, but it wasn't super clear if they were buying my stuff or not. I did also really enjoy the little narrative segments in between cons. They add a lot of character and are just the right length to not distract from the main gameplay.

Gotta say, was not expecting the experience of standing behind a table full of merch watching con-goers stop to look and not buy anything to feel so... accurate!

(I assume. I've never sold merch at a con myself, but I'm guessing this is what it feels like)

Anyway I was terrible at the vendor tycoon parts of the game, but I did really enjoy setting up the merch and people-watching all the NPCs, and the writing for the interstitial sequences was really quite charming!

Real cute game! As a long time con goer, it’s quite fun to do things from the vendor side for once. The NPC designs were super cute and the animations delightful, and the little written sequences were very charming.

The actual gameplay loop was a bit obtuse - there wasn’t enough feedback on what was selling to figure out if I should be buying minimal inventory or maxxing out all storage, and whether diversifying or commiting to one or two types of product was better. The storage system was also a little confusing - both only having so much room in your car, but also being able to pick up stored stock from the post office seemed a bit obtuse. It also seems like you can spend more on stock than you can actually bring currently. The stress mechanic also feels a bit difficult to quantify; my first run was doing two cons, realising I was at 110% stress, and then sleeping until deadline lmao.

Placing down the stock was really fun, though doing it one at a time feels tedious in a bad way. A “place all” or a mouse drag and drop would have gone a long way. Despite playing the fixed version I also go a bug that when starting a new game, when getting to the place items part it would seemingly have lost all my product!

This is the sort of game where I want to nitpick it because I know I could spend aaaaaages lost in a finished product; I’d love to see it if you end up expanding this concept!

I find the gameplay a little unclear [that may be a skill issue] but i love the little intermission written segments.

Cool idea and setting, the gameplay is simple enough to understand. The NPCs' AIs are a bit buggy when walking around your stand, so I wasn't sure if I did something right or not. But I think this could be a neat game for the future, if you decide on continuing working on it.

Ok, so this game looks really fun, unfortunately after the third day it softlocked for me and couldn't continue, I can totally see the vision tough.

I can see the vision, gud job on the game, it might have quite a few bugs, but the content is pretty nice.
